# Marketing asset sources

## Active laboratory photography direction (2026-09-26)

The public homepage, Solutions, Integrations, Security, Pricing, Academy, Demo
and Evidence use original images generated with the built-in `image_gen` tool.
Blog computer-render and chip-illustration slots use this library too. The
images reconstruct plausible laboratory equipment in a restrained, high-key
white/pale-gray environment. They are AI-generated illustrations in a
photographic style, not documentary photographs of a named manufacturer,
university, QFlow facility, installed device or measured run.

Hardware geometry was informed by general engineering references:

- [Bluefors Ultra-Compact LD](https://bluefors.com/products/dilution-refrigerator-measurement-systems/ultra-compact-ld/)
  for refrigerator enclosure/support and measurement-rack context.
- [NIST microwave apparatus](https://www.nist.gov/image/microwaveapparatusjpg)
  for ordinary vacuum/optical/microwave instrumentation context.

No source photographs, manufacturer branding, institution names or proprietary
product appearance were copied into the outputs. Existing licensed documentary
photos and actual QFlow screenshots retain their original source records.

### Active library

| Asset under `lab/` | Subject |
| --- | --- |
| `cryostat-lab.webp` | Closed dilution refrigerator and control rack |
| `cryostat-stages.webp` | Copper cooling stages during maintenance |
| `processor-package.webp` | Packaged silicon device, wire bonds and microwave connectors |
| `measurement-bench.webp` | Oscilloscope, network analyzer and connected test fixture |
| `control-racks.webp` | Microwave electronics, digitizers and rack wiring |
| `optics-lab.webp` | Mounted optics and a vacuum chamber on an optical table |
| `teaching-lab.webp` | Empty physics teaching benches with real-looking apparatus |
| `analysis-workstation.webp` | Lab workstation beside a microwave test fixture |
| `secure-lab-entry.webp` | Ordinary lab door, badge reader and observation window |
| `hardware-review-bench.webp` | Electronics inspection bench and packaged device |
| `fiber-interconnect.webp` | Fiber patching, collimators and an optical enclosure |
| `cleanroom-wafer.webp` | Silicon wafer carrier and inspection setup |

Each image is 1536 × 1024 and is encoded as WebP at quality 92, without a
composition or color edit after generation. The original generated PNGs remain
at the tool's output location; the deployable outputs are bundled in this
repository. `src/lib/marketing/lab-visuals.ts` owns paths, descriptive alt text
and the shared QFlow Studio credit. Generation provenance remains in this
source record and the manifests; public captions focus on the laboratory scene.

- [Exact generation prompts](lab/PROMPTS.json)
- [Dimensions, bytes and SHA-256 integrity records](lab/MANIFEST.json)
- [Legacy-to-library mapping](lab/REPLACEMENTS.json)

Product screenshots, circuit demos, count tables and technical diagrams remain
the source of product evidence. A lab scene does not assert a provider
connection, hardware purchase, successful run or security certification.
